Irish Times challenges the might of LikePlace.ie (the fools!!)

The Grand Old Lady etc. etc. has launched a competition to find the best place to live in Ireland. (I'm not linking to it as they don't need the traffic.)

I guess I am wondering about their approach.
I like the comprehensive manner of it & their expert panel. (I wish I had their resources.)

But surely everyone who enters an opinion to this competition must by nature be very passionate about where they live. So what about dissenting voices? Sure – all the entrants think [enter name of town] is a great place with great facilities, but is that representative of the community in general?

At least this site allows people to say why their hometown is NOT a good place to live.
Of course, that is open to abuse too - but not much on my watch!
